Books: I think that my posts are starting to get more and more wordy. It might be time for just a couple of pics. The book to the left is a book I found at Goodwill. I ABSOLUTELY love Bob Goff and read/listen to anything he writes. He helps me loosen up, look for joy, and above all, remember that if I am not loving and valuing people, I am not taking Jesus seriously. The book in the middle has been a wonderful and insightful read. The School of Divinity at the University of Edinburgh has asked me to write a 500-word review for this book. And the one to the right is my personal read for the next 3-4 months. I started listening to Bonhoeffer’s Cost of Discipleship a few weeks ago and decided that I need a print copy in my hands to read slowly, mark, etc. This is supposedly a better and more official translation. I was able to get a hardback in really good condition for only $10. I am going to read it slowly, prayerfully, and with the intent to love Jesus more and surrender more fully to him.
It is not so much about how much you read, but how you read. I want to learn. I want to grow.
Oh, and the cup of coffee is essential for opening all of my faculties to the Holy Spirit. 🙂
